Standing up like a pro!

Today for the first time, Ari stood up on his own. He was standing there holding his bottle and I don't think he realized he wasn't holding on to anything. lol. Later on that day, Harris said that he did it again without the bottle and when we got home from Barnes and Nobles, I noticed Ari was standing there without hodling onto anything again! I was so excited I think I startled him. haha. Hopefully he isn't too afraid to do it again after I jumped off the couch singing "You did it, I said you did it." That is my little song I sing Ari everytime he does something good or new. I even sing it when he falls and looks like he is about to cry. Ahhhh.... I guess every parent has there own little ways of entertaining their kids. :-)

I'm a big boy now!!

Ari has been progressing so amazingly. He is a master crawler and cruiser. He is constantly on the move and loves to play. He continues to do the most amazing things and I feel like before I know it, he will be off to college!! Babies are amazing and I can't wait to find out what else is in store for us. I manage to catch a couple of shots of Ari holding his own bottle like a big boy and a couple of shots of him on the move. Thanks to Auntie Karen, we also got a couple of shots when he was playing.

Brunch with my favorite guys

Soccer and Brunch was so entertaining with Ari. The place was packed and our half of the restaurant was being entertained my by little guy. He was having such a great time in the high chair and flirting with every single woman around us! lol. He started to put his hands behind his head so of course Harris and I took advantage of those moments and said, "Sexy, Sexy" while he did it. It was definitely a Kodak moment.

toys, toys, and more toys

Ari plays so well by himself. He loves to play with all his toys and has even taken an interest in soccer balls. He is truly Swiss! He loves to push his soccer ball around and go crawling after it. I just love to watch him play. It is even cuter when he plays with his cousin Macyn. More of those pics to come!!

Lil' Swimmer

Ari has been spending lots of time in the swimming pool with Mommy and Daddy. He is doing great in his swim lessons and does not mind submersion. He loves to play in the water and he even kicks his little legs. It is the cutest thing ever. I am so happy that he loves the water! He is my little water bug. The best part is he is so tired after we go swimming at night, he sleeps so well!! LOL

First beach experience

Ari in the coolest shopping cart in Harris Teeter. He played in the shopping cart while, we shopped for our food for the beach.

He loved playing in the sand. It was a little too cold to go into the ocean so we just played in the sand for hours. He really loved it and I can't wait to take him to the beach again.

Here's Ari enjoying his first experience with the Ocean water. It was pretty cold so that was the most he was in the ocean but had fun with his feet in the water. LOL

Boys will be boys

Ari is on the loose and recently fell down on his nose and got a war wound... LOL

Although I think he looks super cute with his scar, I shudder to think what he is going to do to himself next. Pray for me... :-)

My baby boy is on the move!

I know it's been long over due for and update but better late than never! :-)

Ari starting crawling a few weeks ago and is only getting better at it and much faster. He is pulling himself up on EVERYTHING and even starting to cruise. His development astounds me and I can't believe he will be walking soon.

He is also such a boy and gets into everything... hahaha. But I wouldnt have it any other way! I have added a few new pictures of the little guy.

Ari splashing Daddy during bath time

Ari has been taking a bath like a big boy and learned how to splash. He was having a good time while Daddy was not. LOL

Annapolis for the day

We took Ari to our favorite spot in Annapolis, Pusser's Landing. We sat there for a couple of hours and watched all the boats pass by and he had a blast. We also walked around Annapolis and enjoyed the rest of the day with the family.

Ari's first picnic

This Sunday we spent a beautiful day outside and Ari enjoyed his first picnic. We had such a good with with great friends and yummy food! He had a good time playing with his toys and even found something new to play with. A football! I hope he plays football when he gets older bc Harris and I would love to watch him play one day.

Here are a couple of pictures of Ari and Anya, his new baby girlfriend. LOL. The two of them looked so cute together and Ari was so interested in her and I was so afraid he was gonna hurt her but he was on his best behavior. :-D
